Assessing the Effects of Non-Pharmacological Therapies on Musculoskeletal Pain: An Individual Participant Data Analysis of Health-Related Quality of Life in Military Personnel With Family Implications
Nine weeks of treatment with home-based interventions and standard care/exercise improved pain and physical well-being in participants with musculoskeletal injuries. During this period, participants' mental well-being remained stable or showed small declines. Service member reporting problems with social interactions tended to have lower physical and mental well-being and higher pain levels. This relationship may be important for individual SMs and their family members.
